TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
SUMMER SESSIONS - 1947
Summer sessions, long an important part of Indiana's program,
are designed to meet the post-war demands of Veterans as well as those
of traditional importance. The courses offered are those given in the
regular year. Time, credit, and standards are the same. In addition,
certain courses not regularly scheduled in winter are offered so that
student needs may be satisfied.
There will be two sessions of six weeks each, the first beginning on
June 2. The second session of the summer starts July 14 and closes
August 22. Either or both sessions may be attended, making it possible
to earn six or twelve credits. A very few courses are offered for the first
three weeks of each session. All students will find desirable courses in
the fields of elementary and secondary education as well as in the
special fields of art, business education, home economics, and music
education. The particular groups whose interests have been kept in
mind in preparing the summer program are these:
VETERANS OF WORLD WAR II will find courses offered in
every curriculum and every year, thus enabling them to accelerate the
day of graduation. For essential details required of veterans enroling at
Indiana turn the page.
TEACHERS IN SERVICE who wish to renew their State Stand-
ard Limited Certificates or other limited certificates will find courses
enabling them to keep certificates valid. See the last page of the bulletin
for regulations regarding renewal.
TEACHERS RETURNING TO SERVICE will find refresher
courses available so that they may feel confident in their ability to give
children the instruction they deserve.
EXTENSION OF CERTIFICATION to other fields by former
graduates will be possible through the wide variety of courses offered.
This will enable graduates to prepare for teaching in fields where there
is an acute shortage of certified personnel.
PERMANENT CERTIFICATION may be accomplished through
the acquisition of six semester hours necessary to make permanent the
Provisional College Certificate.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
VETERANS AT INDIANA
The State Teachers College at Indiana, Pa., has been approved by
Veterans Administration to offer its facilities to veterans under Public
Law 16 (pensioned veterans who have been approved for vocational
rehabilitation) and Public Law 346 (G. I. Bill of Rights). First you must
be accepted for registration by the college at Indiana. Then, Leroy H.
Schnell, Veterans Counselor, will assist you in enrolling under either
of the above public laws. You should contact him to be sure that you
have the necessary documents from Veterans Administration to complete
your enrollment. Those who do not present the required documents
will obviously enroll at their own expense.
ing:
At the time you enroll at Indiana, you will need one of the follow-
1. Certificate of Entitlement and Eligibility.
2. A Supplemental Certificate of Eligibility and Entitlement. This
is secured from the sub-regional office having jurisdiction over the insti-
tution where you were last in training under the G. I. Bill.
3. A Letter of Authority. Only veterans who are pensioned and
who have been approved for vocational training by a Veterans Admin-
istration Advisement Center are eligible for a Letter of Authority.
It will take a considerable length of time to secure any one of the
three above documents. Start the procedure immediately to secure the
one which applies in your case.
TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
RELAXATION AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
Summer sessions at Indiana have always been noted for the variety
of activities on the recreation program. With the removal of war-time
restrictions the 1947 program will be bigger and better than ever; since
all students should have time to relax and time to play as well as time
to study.
The program will include activities on the campus, at the College
Lodge, and in the surrounding area.
On campus will be found facilities for tennis, bowling, archery,
softball, croquet, badminton for the outdoors, while indoors are the
recreation rooms for women and men, equipped with facilities for group
and individual relaxation. In addition, Recreation Hall, the college
gymnasium, and the Activities Cottage are available.
For those "old-time" steak frys, group picnics, campflres, hikes,
and similar activities, the College Lodge plays a very important role
in the program. It is owned by the students and faculty and contains
over 100 acres of wooded hillside, a rustic lodge, and three shelter
houses.
The area surrounding Indiana is rich in historic, scenic, and recrea-
tion spots. Buses will be chartered for visits to many of these places.
The program is developed by a student faculty committee. Tenta-
tive plans call for the "old favorites" plus many new ones:
1. Morning "pickups" in Reception Hall, or on East Porch.
2. Campus picnics for boarding students.
3. Bingo parties and square dances on the auditorium patio.
4. Evening informal dances in Recreation Hall.
5. Movies in the College Auditorium.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
6. Student dramatic productions prepared by the group in
Theatre Workshop.
7. Campus games — bowling-on-the-green, archery, croquet, bad-
minton, etc.
8. Softball tournaments for men and women.
8. Tennis on newly surfaced courts.
10. Bowling and roller skating parties at local recreation centers.
11. Golf and golf instruction at the Old Fort Club.
12. Departmental picn.cs, and women and men's steak fry at the
lodge.
13. Chartered bus trips:
Two (each session) to the Civic Light Opera in Pittsburgh.
Two (each session) to the Mountain Playhouse at Jennerstown.
One (each session) all-day trip to Cook's Forest — June 14 and
August 2.
One Historical tour to Baker's Mansion, Altoona, June 19.
A revival of the Fourth of July Canadian Tour July 3-6 inclu-
sive, depending on student interest and availability of hotel accom-
modations.
14. Many others — depending on student interests and suggestions
to the committee.
TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
GENERAL INFORMATION
Registration. Students are expected to register on the first day of
each session. All questions pertaining to fees, programs of classes, and
room assignments should be settled so that classes may run full time on
Tuesday following registration. Those wishing credits evaluated should
see the Dean of Instruction.
Registration for First Session — Monday, June 2.
Registration for Second Session — Monday, July 14.
The dormitories will not be open for students until registration day,
June 2. All baggage and trunks will be received in the basement of
Jchn Sutton Hall from where porters will deliver them directly to
students rooms. Baggage should be plainly marked with names and
room numbers if assignments have been made. Students living in cottages
should mark their baggage with the street addresses so that the college
truck can make speedy deliveries.
On arriving students should:
1. See the Registrar in Recreation Hall and pay fees.
2. See the Dean of Women or Dean of Men and get room assign-
ments.
3. Get programs made out in Recreation Hall or in the office of
the director of special departments.
4. Secure books at the Book Store as soon as texts are specifically
designated for courses taken.
Class Hours. In general all class work will be completed before
noon. Classes begin at 7:45 and close at 12:20, each period being 90
minutes, including the time for changing classes. Some laboratory
periods, field trips, practice periods for musical organizations, and
similar activities are conducted in the afternoon. Each student should
make certain that he can adjust his time to these periods as arranged
before making his program.
There will be no Saturday classes.
The time followed will be that of the Indiana Community (prob-
ably Daylight) .
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
Student Living Conditions. Indiana is characteristically a boarding
institution in the sense that it provides living accommodations for its
students. Those who live in Indiana and vicinity are enroled as day
students. The excellent roads leading to Indiana enable many more
students to live at home than was formerly the case. All students who
are not living at home are required to live at the college. Students
whose homes are not in Indiana and who desire to live with relatives in
Indiana as day students must have the approval of the President in
advance of registration. Under no circumstances are women students
permitted to room or board with private families who are not relatives.
Slight illnesses are cared for in the college infirmary without charge
for a period of three days. After three days, a charge of one dollar per
day is made. This charge includes the regular nurse and medical services,
but does not include special nurse or special medical service.
Students and teachers are responsible for meals of their guests at
current transient rates. Only young women of college age may stay in
campus buildings overnight; they must be registered with the Dean of
Women by the person or persons entertaining them.
All students who live in the college must provide themselves with
blankets, as the college furnishes only the linen and counterpanes.
Each student must also provide window curtains, table napkins, soap,
towels, and needful toilet articles.
Clothing. To properly enjoy activities of a sports nature, women
students will find slacks and comfortable shoes for hiking and First Aid
Classes, swimming suits, and shorts for tennis very useful.
Summer activities usually include a garden party for which a
summer evening dress is suitable. For all other occasions, cool, com-
fortable dresses and spectator sports clothes will fill all needs.
Banking Convenience. The Student Co-operative Association has
added to its services the operation of the so-called student spending-
fund bank. This is a form of convenience to students in that they may
deposit their money in this fund and draw on it throughout the summer
session as needed. On account of the expense involved for insurance, a
nominal charge of ten cents per term is made.
Student Teaching. Student teaching will be provided for a limited
number of candidates who meet the requirements that have been in
10 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
force for several years. It is scheduled for the first session only, begin-
ning June 2. No student is granted student teaching at Indiana until he
has had at least one semester of resident work during which he has
passed 16 or more semester hours with at least a "C" average and no
failures. To do student teaching in summer school the student must
meet the above requirements, be a candidate for a degree, and have had
at least five years1 teaching experience. The cnly exception to this experi-
ence requirement is in the case of a student who has previously done a
full semester of student teaching on the campus and who wishes to
secure the additional teaching credit for his degree or for certification
in another field. Applications must be filed by May 15 to assure enough
opportunities for all who desire.
Placement Service. The services of the Placement Bureau are
available to all students of the college who receive certification. The
directors of the various departments take active interest in the place-
ment of their graduates. Coordination of effort is secured through a
central committee. The Bureau supplies credentials to employers who
are seeking applicants for positions and serves as a center where
graduates may keep their records up-to-date. Alumni are using the
Bureau increasingly. Teaching positions are not guaranteed by the
college, but Indiana's record of placement is among the very best in
Pennsylvania.
COURSES FOR THE SUMMER SESSION
The six curricula are not published in this bulletin. They are
printed in full with brief descriptions of each course in the 1947-1948
catalog, available upon request. Any course will be taught in the summer
if there is sufficient demand. It is very important, therefore, that stu-
dents fill out and return the enclosed card in order to make known their
desires in advance.
Courses listed on the center pages of this bulletin seem certain to
be offered, as will others for which there are enough advance requests.
Except in special subjects or majors in the secondary field, ten students
are necessary to justify a class. The college will be under no obligation
to give any course in which fewer than ten are enroled on opening day.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 11
SPECIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS
The titles of the courses to be given appear in the lists on pages
12 and 13. A brief discussion of some of the more unusual features in
each department is given below. Re-arrangement of courses or other
necessary readjustments will be made in the effort to meet the needs of
individuals. Descriptions of regular courses may be found in the general
catalog. Only new or unusual courses are specifically mentioned here.
ART DEPARTMENT
The program of the Art Department is calculated to facilitate study
for the teacher in service who wishes to further professional ambition;
also for the student preparing to enter the teaching profession. The
student who wishes to enrich his preparation may do extra work toward
adding a minor field to his certification or, if he has fallen behind his
classmates, summer school courses will give him a chance to catch up.
Summer courses are fully accredited and will count toward graduation.
Summer school at Indiana is a delightful experience amidst some
of the most beautiful scenery in Pennsylvania. The Art Department
takes advantage of this by conducting appropriate courses outdoors.
The morning hours in both summer sessions will be devoted to
presenting core courses for students of ether curricula such as THE
ARTS IN THE INTEGRATED PROGRAM in the first session and
CRAFTS IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL or APPRECIATION
OF ART in the second session. The afternoons are to be given over to
the STUDIO OF THE GRAPHIC AND PICTORIAL ARTS and the
STUDIO OF THE DESIGN ARTS in the first and second sessions
respectively. This division gives an added advantage to the serious
student who is thus enabled to spend the long periods of contemplation,
experimentation and study which the various phases of art study require.
BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
The summer session courses in business education make provision
for several distinct needs, as follows:
1. Advanced courses in the main commercial subjects for teachers
in service who wish to further their training for either certifica-
tion, credit towards the degree, or as refresher work.

14 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
2. Sequential courses for Veterans who are accelerating their
programs.
3. Review courses for those students who feel the need of
strengthening their college standings.
Thomas Natural Shorthand. During the first six weeks of the
Summer Session a course in Thomas Natural Shorthand will be offered
for the convenience of those who wish to learn the fundamentals of this
system, as well as to become proficient in the applications of the system
in dictation and methods. This course will continue on through the
remaining six weeks of the Summer Session, into more advanced dicta-
tion and secretarial practice if sufficient students so desire.
Most business education courses are confined to the First Session of
six weeks. In the Second Session students will take required or elective
courses given by other departments. Consult pages 12 and 13 for the
details.
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
The following elective courses in Education should appeal to the
teachers in service:
Adolescent Psychology
Child Adjustment
Child Psychology
Diagnostic and Remedial Instruction in Reading
Guidance
Mental Hygiene
Psychology of the Exceptional Child
Public School Administration
Recent Developments in Education
Diagnostic and Remedial Instruction in Reading. The fundamental
objectives of this course are to enable the classroom teacher to diagnose
reading disabilities and to apply corrective procedures. Emphasis is
placed upon case studies in both diagnosis and remediation. Basic
principles, materials, and organization for remedial instruction are
considered. Prerequisites: The Teaching of Reading, Educational
Measurements.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 15
Guidance. This course presents the need for and the nature of
guidance needed by adolescent youth, together with the concepts, kinds,
and methods of guidance. Emphasis is placed upon the functional
aspects of guidance in educational and vocational fields. The three-fold
function of the course aims at guidance, education for competence, and
placement.
Psychology of the Exceptional Child. This course is designed
toward an interpretation of those school children who deviate from the
accepted form of development and adjustment and who need special
consideration as a result of such deviation. It includes a consideration
of the following areas: child development and individual differences;
children with varying degrees of ability; the physically handicapped;
and children with organic disabilities. Prerequisites: General Psychology;
Educational Psychology.
Public School Administration. The major areas of school adminis-
tration will be presented from two points of view — that of the adminis-
trator and that of the classroom teacher. This will help each to under-
stand and cooperate with the other. The chief units will include: per-
sonnel and organization, instructional employes, instructional materials,
pupil personnel, school plant, business and financial affairs, publicity
and public school relations, curricular and extra-curricular activities,
guidance, classroom management and transportation.
ENGLISH AND SPEECH DEPARTMENT
English. All four of the English core courses — English I and II,
American Literature and English Literature — will be offered both ses-
sions. Instruction in Library Science will be part of the work in English I.
There will be two electives each session — World Literature and
Advanced Composition in the first, Modern Drama and Contemporary
Poetry in the second. World Literature may be taken by students in
the elementary curriculum in partial fulfillment of requirements for
permanent certification.
Speech. Fundamentals of Speech, a required course in all curricula
except Home Economics, will be available both sessions. Radio in Edu-
cation, good for certification in English as a first field, will be given the
first session.
16 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
In the second, four Speech electives — Play Production, Creative
Dramatics, Costuming and Make-up, and Stagecraft and Scenic Design
— -will be offered in connection with the Dramatic Workshop, a new
venture designed to give practical training in acting, producing, direct-
ing, costuming and stagecraft.
Realistic problems will be met and valuable experience gained
through the presentation, before paying audiences, of two recent Broad-
way plays. Short plays will be produced for laboratory purposes.
The work of the Dramatic Workshop should be of especial interest
to teachers who, often without training in modern theater practice, have
the job of coaching school plays.
FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Efficient learning in the elementary and conversational areas of
modern foreign languages depends essentially on the acquisition and
easy use of new skills. Hence the summer session, when classes meet
daily for longer periods of time, is especially favorable for the practice
and drill which contribute predominantly to best results.
Either Spanish I or French I will be offered the First Session with
opportunity to continue the same language during the Second Session;
thus it will be possible to complete the normal work of the first year in
the course of the summer. Elementary Conversational Spanish VI or
French VI will be given in the First Session; this course may be taken
by any student who has had one or more years of college work in the
language in question. If there is demand, Spanish I or French I will be
offered also in the Second Session.
GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT
The following quotation is taken from the Constitution of
UNESCO. "Since wars begin in the minds of men it is in the minds
of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. Ignorance of
each other's ways has been a common cause of the suspicion and distrust
between the peoples of the world through which their differences have
all too often led to wars." The Geography Department will offer a
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 17
greater variety of courses during the summer sessions of 1947 than it
has presented in some years. The variety of courses and the orientation
of each course will be designed to give to teachers in all fields back-
ground materials to help them remove from pupils' minds the '"ignor-
ance of each other's ways" . . . "through which their differences have
all too often led to wars."
The Reconnaissance Field Studies in Geography which were such a
significant feature of the Summer School offerings of the Geography
Department at Indiana owed much of their success to their inexpensive-
ness. A Reconnaissance Field Survey, either to Mexico or to South-
western United States, will be offered this summer if it is possible to
present one for a reasonable expense. If interested, write to L. C. Davis,
Head of Geography Department, Indiana State Teachers College,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, for information.
HEALTH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
The summer work of the Health Education Department is con-
cerned largely with general health and recreational activities, although
some courses are offered for credit. A wide range of activities such as
swimming, archery, badminton, croquet, goalhi, loop tennis, tether ball,
golf, and fly-casting are available for those who do not desire more
strenuous sports.
First Aid. Popular and insistent demand in these days for persons
trained in first aid makes it necessary for all teachers to have this experi-
ence. The successful completion of this course brings the award of the
Red Cross Certificate and carries two semester hours of college credit.
Safety Education. The toll of lives lost, permanent disability,
injury, and economic waste due to accidents in the home, on the high-
ways, and in industry is appalling. To combat this great waste of human
lives and materials, we have instituted a course in safety education. It
will cover materials adapted to all age groups and deal with the most
common hazards found in the community. Two hours credit.
18 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS
Every individual lives a life as well as finding it necessary to earn
a living. Many prepare in college for earning a living only. Home
Economics courses prepare us to live a better life. Some economists
think if labor and capital would meet on a common ground as con-
sumers, that many of our economic and social ills could be easily solved.
CONSUMER EDUCATION helps understand these problems as well
as helping to be a more effective purchaser of all commodities used in
daily living. FAMILY HEALTH is even more important during the
shortage of doctors and nurses. FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS and
HOME MANAGEMENT (economics and management of the house-
hold) are essential for all who live in homes. All of these courses are
open to every student in college. CLOTHING II needs a background
of plain sewing and use of commercial patterns.
LABORATORY SCHOOL
Refresher Course for Teachers in Service: Diagnostic and
Remedial Teaching in the Elementary School 3 cr.
A refresher course, designed primarily for teachers who have been
out of service and who have been called again to the classroom because
of the emergency, as well as those who wish to study up-to-date teaching
procedures, will again be offered in the First Session. Supervising teach-
ers in the Laboratory School will direct this course which will carry three
hours credit. It will consist of observation of formal and informal
teaching procedures in a work-shop situation.
Group and individual conferences will be an integral part of the
course. In group conferences newer materials and their uses will be
demonstrated. The individual student will have an opportunity to pre-
pare materials and projects for use in her classroom next vear.
MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT
Analytic Geometry is the third course in the series required for
students specializing in mathematics. It is being offered in the summer
in order to make it possible for students on an accelerated program to
take their mathematics in regular sequence. Prerequisite — College
Algebra I and Trigonometry.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 19
The Teaching of Junior-Senior High School Mathematics may be
used as an elective by students majoring or minoring in mathematics.
It may also be taken as a refresher course by teachers in service.
The Teaching of Arithmetic emphasizes especially the teaching of
arithmetic in the upper elementary grades. This is one of the courses
listed for students in the Elementary Division.
MUSIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Music in the Integrated Program. The newest techniques in
cooperative curriculum construction in the elementary grades with music
serving as the correlating agent in the building of units of instruction.
Class workshop techniques are employed with grade teachers and music
supervisors working in committees in organizing such units. Analyses
of varying education philosophies as they affect the teaching of
aesthetic education are presented for discussion and background for
the units. Three hours credit.
Advanced Choral and Instrumental Conducting. The educational
and musical preparation of the school music conductor; their skills,
information, appreciations, materials, are presented in this class. In
addition to baton techniques, choral and instrumental techniques,
orchestration, program building, are given consideration. Three hours
credit.
Applied Music. The study of orchestral and band instruments for
building skills, and for techniques of presentation in publlic schools.
Work offered in private lessons and in class instruction. One to three
hours credit.
Summer Session Chorus. Opportunity is provided all students
enrolled in the summer session to participate in this chorus without fee
or credit. Three meetings per week, providing enjoyable recreation with
musical growth in appreciations and singing skills.
Demonstration Lessons in the Laboratory School. The music de-
partment presents demonstration lessons during the summer session in
the teaching of creative song writing. This is part of the refresher
course offered by the Laboratory school.
20 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
A well-balanced program of courses in Biology, Physics, and
Chemistry will be offered this summer. Every effort has been made to
arrange courses for the following groups of summer students:
1. Those students who are accelerating
2. Those students wishing to specialize in a special
area of Science
3. Those students who are completing the require-
ments for a degree
4. Those students who are seeking additional certi-
fications or permanent certifications.
In the biological field, a definite emphasis will be given to plants
and animals as entities rather than the usual stress on structure and
functional parts. The summer season lends itself well to this type of
course. Such a treatment should have a contribution to make to those
who have had the introductory botany or zoology as well as to those
who have had no biological science.
In the physical science field, advantage of the summer season will
be taken by conducting field trips in Physical Science and Geology.
SUMMARY OF SUMMER COURSES IN SCIENCE

specialization will be met as well as the needs of those working for
certification. Every candidate for certification in social studies must have
at least nine hours in the social sciences: these should include three
hours each in American Government, Economics, and Sociology.
History of the United States and Pennsylvania. In each of the two
sessions this course will be offered. Action of the State Council of
Education states that subsequent to September 1, 1944 all certificates
issued by the Department of Public Instruction to teach in the public
schools of the Commonwealth, shall, in addition to the present regula-

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 23

one period per day for the regular summer session is #2.00.
Activity Fee. The activity fee for each summer session is #2.50.
Out of State Fees. A student whose residence is outside of Penn-
sylvania may take advantage of Indiana's facilities by paying the same
fees as residents of the state.
How to Pay Fees. All fees except the degree fee are to be paid on
the day of registration for each session: Monday, June 2 for the first
session, and Monday, July 14 for the second session.
Checks for all fees except activity fee should be made payable to
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; postal money orders should also
be made payable at the Harrisburg Post Office. Checks for the activity
fee should be made payable to John Lingenfelter, Treasurer; money
orders for this fee should be made payable at the Post Office at
Indiana, Pennsylvania.
Room Reservation. Room reservations can be made by writing to
the Registrar and sending a deposit of #10.00. Checks should be made
payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Students are not expected to room alone. Therefore, prospective
students are urged to apply in pairs. In this way each student is assured
a congenial roommate. Single applications are handled to the best
possible advantage, but the college prefers that students make their
own choices whenever possible. The college does not guarantee a suit-
able room except in cases where the reservation deposit has been paid in
advance and accepted. Applications for rooms are filed in the order in
which they are received. Students are requested to write to the Dean
of Women if there is any preference in rooms, and to indicate whether
a room with or without water is desired.
REGULATIONS REGARDING TRANSFER OF CREDITS
AND RENEWAL OF CERTIFICATES
The following regulations governing admission with advanced
standing were approved by the Board of Presidents of the State Teach-
ers Colleges, July 19, 1940:
24 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
1. Transfers from other institutions will not be accepted without
certificates of honorable dismissal.
2. Credit will be given for acceptable courses pursued in accred-
ited collegiate institutions in which the student has made a grade above
the lowest passing grade in the institution in which the work was done.
Where the grades are marked on a percentage basis, work graded five
per cent above the minimum passing grade will be accepted.
3. All students who are candidates for a degree shall be required
to arrange a program of studies approved by the Dean of Instruction.
Any student desiring to pursue any part of this program at a different
institution will be required to secure, in advance, the approval of such
courses from the Dean of Instruction.
RENEWAL OF STATE STANDARD LIMITED CERTIFICATE
(From Department of Public Instruction Bulletin, September 1, 1938)
1. The 12 semester hours required for the renewal of the State
Standard Limited certificate are to be earned during each renewal period
of three years, whether the certificate has been used for teaching pur-
poses or not. This is the minimum rate by which the holder of a State
Standard Limited certificate may move toward the completion of an
elementary degree curriculum.
2. The responsible official of the college from which the holder
of the certificate expects to secure a degree should certify on the
transcript — or otherwise — that the 12 semester hours submitted to the
Department of Public Instruction will be accepted by the institution as
additional work toward the completion of the elementary degree
curriculum.
Note particularly that work for the renewal of the certificate must
be approved toward a degree in the elementary field. This renewal
work should be taken in the school from which the student expects to
secure his degree. If taken at another college, approval of the courses
must first be secured in advance from the Dean of Instruction of the
college from which the student expects to secure his degree. This per-
mission will not be granted for courses toward the first and second
renewals except for very important reasons.
